The Texas Instruments LF398N/NOPB is a low-power, dual operational amplifier (op-amp) that is designed for a wide range of applications. It is a member of the LF398 series of op-amps, which are known for their low power consumption and high performance.
Description:
The LF398N/NOPB is a dual op-amp that is available in an 8-pin DIP (dual in-line package) or an 8-pin SOIC (small-outline integrated circuit) package. It is designed to operate over a wide range of supply voltages, from ±2.5V to ±18V, and has a quiescent supply current of only 2.4 mA per amplifier. This makes it well-suited for battery-powered applications where low power consumption is critical.
